Cant Remove Virus With Free Avg Antiviruss!

I have recently been infected with a trojan Virus. My screen went red , i experienced mass pop ups notifying me of a presence of a virus. I could not access system restore or the system tools for that matter. It also says that I am no longer the administrator. After receiving the virus i downloaded the free AVG antivirus and removed them with the antivirus (but was unsure if i should delete the files or remove from vault so i deleted). The pop ups have stopped but It still says I have a virus alert and still can not access important parts of the computer such as system restore. If anyone could help that would be great.

BC AdBot (Login to Remove)

If you can download malwarebytes antimalware and run a scan in your computer's safe mode. Do the same with spybot search and destroy. If you can't get access to the internet from that computer, download those programs from another one and put them on a CD-r.

Scanning with MBAM in safe or normal mode will work but removal functions are not as powerful in safe mode. MBAM is designed to be at full power when malware is running so safe mode is not necessary when using it. In fact, it loses some effectiveness for detection & removal when used in safe mode because the program includes a driver which does not work in safe mode.

When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.

When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:

Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.

Press the OK button to close that box and continue.

If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them fromhereand just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.

Then click on the Scan button.

If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.

The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.

When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".

Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.

The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.
